2008 server standard VS 2008 server standard R2

[powerpc]

Hi there,

 

Is it any different between 2008 server standard VS 2008 server standard R2 when running gameservers?

 

I suppose 2008 server standard have kernel timer @ 1000 Fps like R2?

I know TCA have an issue with interact with desktop in 2008 and R2?

 

Thanks

No issues with TCAdmin and interact with desktop with Windows Sever 2008 here, its simply different than that of 2003.

Okay, are you using R2?

i don't think there that much difference.

No, theres not a substantial difference for game server hosting. They are built on the same kernel. However, R2 includes improved hyper-v with live migration, which doesn't really apply to game servers, but a nice feature. Tons of other small improvements just like Vista->Windows 7, but none of which make any significant difference as far as game server hosting. They are mostly just small optimizations and enhancements to usability.

im using Win 7 right now. and its much better than vista well , thats my opionin.

 

it uses less resources, doesn't hog that much rams, i like the interface and such

its much quikcer and also i seen reviews that it also increase FPS in particular of games by like 5-10 haha
